RESTCLOUD Back Stretcher for Back Pain Relief, Back Stretching Cushion, Chronic Lumbar Support Pillow Helps with Spinal Stenosis, Herniated Disc and Sciatica Nerve Pain Relief Lumbar Stretcher

I am a 70-year old man with advanced arthritis. I had both hips replaced and have a number of issues with L-1 through L-5. I was constantly "locking up" in my lower back. I was prescribed muscle relaxants. While they worked, it was temporary. I got this and started using it daily. As instructions describe, it took a while to adjust, but now it flexes the back without any discomfort, improved my posture, and I have little pain throughout the day.

At first, it was really hard and painful. I couldn’t breathe well but I didn’t give up and stayed on for 5 minutes. The pain started to subside and I was feeling more relaxed breathing more easily. After that, it became my daily routine for relaxing and back pain relief. I understand that it’s not comfortable but I don’t think if the material was more soft I would achieve the relaxation experienced.

got this for my husband, it just going to take a few days to get use to it, but he says his back felt somewhat better. His back popped a few times, guess that's what gives his back some relief.

I'm glad I canceled the order for a different back stretcher (those flimsy plastic ones) and got this one instead. I have their neck stretcher and liked it so I decided to get this one too. I'm also glad I took a second to read the leaflet that came with this one. Their advice was actually a very helpful one: to bend your legs, position it attached to the body, and breathe out as you lie down. In my first try I felt so stiff and was holding my breath, then remembered the instructions and started letting go and relaxing my muscles into the product's shape. It worked! I could touch the carpet with my shoulders after a minute or so. They also recommend limiting the first few times to 2 minutes - which I thought was short, until I was stretched over it - it is somewhat painful until you can soften the muscles. I'm working with it every day and after 2 minutes already I'm really desperate to get up. It could certainly be my tight back, so I hope after more practice I can stay on it longer. Also, it could only be me, but it's really hard to get out of this position. I'm using a thick pillow on my sides to lean on. I can't get myself straight up after 2 minutes. This, I believe, also will change with consistent usage. all in all - the construction of this product is solid, which I like very much. It seems easy to clean, and definitely not going to break. I like it. I highly recommend it.

This stretcher’s curve is too high for me. I am 5’3”. Using it causes an uncomfortable sensation down my legs. It doesn’t fit me. It may fit someone taller than me.

I have the neck stretcher that helped me so I decided to get the back stretcher from the same maker. The first few uses were very painful and I'm sure it was so because of such bad posture that I have. But after I read a few reviews and followed up on the instructions from the included flyer, I started feeling so much better after just a week of using the product without the tension ball. In the beginning I used it for only 2-3 min at the time, but now I can hold it a little longer by the day. You have to be consistent, patient and careful not to get hurt further. I lay down on a thick yoga mat so when I get up, I hold on to the edge of the mat and slowly I get up straight, a little bit at the time. Otherwise, it's hard to get off of it. I hope this is helpful. Happy stretching! 🙂

I have a bulging disc in my lower back. I thought this would fit my lower back back but it did not and was Hard and uncomfortable. I am short, 5’ so I think it was just too big. I do see this as a fit for someone taller.

I’m in the throws of spinal stenosis. I’ve gotten cortisone shots in my lower back. I have bad left leg sciatica. I’ll do anything for relief. I saw this product on Amazon and thought “why not.” It has proven to be very helpful providing relief from the pain. It also helps with general posture. Bad posture can also negatively affect my sciatica. I tend to naturally slouch with my shoulders rolled forward. This product is helping me change my posture.

My back felt better then ever

Excellent for back stretcher. Highly recommended! Material is durable, provides the support required when in use, I prefer this compared to hard plastic.

Good and very comfortable compared to a plastic one, but could have more or an arch.

An excellent product. Has been crafted together really well, very easy to use. Great strong material allowing for full benefit of the product itself. Great size and shape, priced well cheap and cheerful. Does exactly what it says, made to last long. Great quality. Does not stain easily at all, no mess involved or anything. Easy to install and make use of from the get go. Not had any problems with this, definitely an amazing product and one to get! Stretches the back really well. Very comfortable to use. Good to use before and after gym to reduce chances of any injuries to the back.

From time to time I suffer with a bad back and using this quality item for just five minutes a day improves it. It is really well-made and extremely easy to use. The design is very good indeed meaning that it helps get the spine in the correct position, relax his muscles and boost blood circulation. It's is compact and means it can be portable as well so allow you to use it wherever you may be. There is a ball in the middle of it which allows you to massage the affected areas but this can be removed if you just need to stretch your back. it is made from a special kind of polyurethane foam which means it is similar to memory foam in terms of comfort and quality.
